Some good advice - specially for the days you feel down - ( those days seem to be growing in number , aren't they ? )

You cannot get any younger - but you can feel young and less careworn and down . Here is some good advice - even if you do not follow it - enjoy reading it !!

• Throw out nonessential numbers - this includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.
  
  
• Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
  (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)
  
  
• Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
  Never let the brain get idle.
  "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
  And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
  
  
• Enjoy the simple things
  
  
• Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
  And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!
  
  
• The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.
  The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.
  LIVE while you are alive.
  
  
• Surround yourself with what you love:
  Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
  Your home is your refuge.
  
  
• Cherish your health:
  If it is good, preserve it.
  If it is unstable, improve it.
  If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
  
  
• Don't take guilt trips.
  Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
  
  
• Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
